Find the Right Denver Property Record
Search City and County of Denver real property information by street address, Parcel ID or schedule number, then use the correct official route for owner information, assessment values, GIS maps, property-tax statements, exemptions, protests or recorded deeds.
This 2026 guide also explains the owner-name search limitation, Colorado’s biennial assessment cycle, today’s new protest-deadline law, current senior and veteran filing rules, prior-year abatement options, delinquent-tax checks and what to do when the online property record does not match your documents.
Fast Answer: What Is the Official Denver Assessor Property Search?
Use Denver’s official Property Search page to reach the real-property Assessment and Taxation System. Denver says the system provides property assessment and tax data and supports lookup by address, Parcel ID or schedule number. The data is updated daily.
Choose the Correct Denver Property Office First
Denver is both a city and county, but property functions are still divided among assessment, Treasury, mapping and recording offices.
Property value, characteristics or exemption
Use the Denver Assessor for actual/assessed value, ownership information, mailing address, legal description, property characteristics, exemptions and valuation questions.
City and County of Denver Assessor Assessor’s OfficeTax bill, payment or delinquent payoff
Use Treasury for current taxes due, payments, payment posting, tax-statement questions, delinquent balances and tax-lien-sale amounts.
Denver Treasury Division Property Tax Payment HelpParcel map or subdivision context
Use Denver Assessor Maps and GIS products when you need parcel orientation, map indexes or downloadable spatial data after identifying the property.
Denver GIS / Assessor Maps Open Assessor MapsDeed, lien, mortgage or recorded history
Use the Clerk and Recorder for recorded land documents and certified copies. Assessment ownership data is useful research, but it is not a guaranteed title search.
Denver Clerk and Recorder Search Recorded RecordsHow to Search Denver Property Records
Use this sequence for a normal residential or commercial real-property lookup.
Open Denver’s official Property Search
Choose the Real Property option from Denver’s Property Search page rather than starting with an unofficial property-report service.
Start with the street address
For most properties, use the house number and main street name. Keep the first search simple rather than pasting a long mailing-format address.
Use Parcel ID or schedule number if you have it
These official identifiers are better than address text when you need to match tax statements, assessment records or multiple similar properties.
Confirm the matching property
Check address, owner information, legal description, Parcel ID, schedule number and property characteristics before relying on the result.
Check the correct assessment and tax year
Denver’s 2025 assessment values are used for 2025 taxes payable in 2026. Do not mistake the pay year for a new 2026 reappraisal.
Save the permanent property identifiers
Copy the Parcel ID and schedule number before moving to tax documents, maps, an exemption application, protest research or recorded-document search.
Denver Assessor Property Search by Address
Address is the best official starting method for most homeowners, buyers, renters and researchers.
Situation |
Best first search |
If no result appears |
|---|---|---|
Normal single-family address |
House number + street name. |
Remove ZIP, city, punctuation and unnecessary address words. |
Directional street |
Try the official address as known. |
Retry with fewer words if the direction or suffix is stored differently. |
Condo / multi-unit property |
Start with the building address. |
Use Parcel ID or schedule number for the exact unit when available. |
Vacant land |
Parcel ID or schedule number is usually stronger. |
Move to assessor maps if there is no useful situs address. |
Recently changed address |
Try Parcel ID from a notice, deed or tax statement. |
Contact Assessor Information Management if the public record has not caught up. |
Denver Assessor Property Search by Name or Owner
This keyword needs an important correction: Denver’s current official property-search instructions advertise address, Parcel ID and schedule-number lookup—not an Assessor owner-name search field.
You know owner + address
Search the address in the official property system, then confirm the published ownership information on the property record.
You know only the person’s name
For deed/recording research, use the Clerk and Recorder’s recorded-record system and the party-name search options available there. If you need a current assessor parcel, contact Assessor Information Management with every location clue you have.
You need historical owners
Denver says historical chain-of-title names predating its website data—before 1987—are available through Denver Public Library historical resources.
Denver Parcel ID and Schedule Number Search
Parcel ID and schedule number are Denver’s strongest official identifiers when you need to connect assessment, tax and property documents accurately.
Property result
Open the correct record and save the identifier shown with the property details.
Property-tax statement
Denver says the Parcel ID appears in the gray box at the upper-right of the tax statement and above the address on the property record page.
Notice of Valuation
Assessment and protest documents use property identifiers that help the Assessor connect your evidence to the correct account.
What Denver Property Records Can Tell You
The Assessor’s Information Management team says public property information can include ownership and detailed residential characteristics.
Record field |
What it helps you check |
Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
Owner name |
Current ownership information carried in assessment records. |
That it replaces recorded title research. |
Mailing address |
Where assessment/tax correspondence is associated with the account. |
That it is the physical property location. |
Legal description |
Helps identify the land record and connect it with deeds or plats. |
That online wording replaces the recorded instrument or survey. |
Actual value |
Denver Assessor’s market-value determination for the applicable assessment cycle. |
That it is the tax bill. |
Assessed value |
Value after the applicable assessment-rate calculation. |
That every tax component uses only one simple rate. |
Year built / style |
Helps verify physical characteristics used in valuation. |
That an old remodeling history is necessarily complete. |
Bedrooms / bathrooms |
Useful for detecting obvious factual errors. |
That listing-service and assessor definitions always match. |
Living area / lot size |
Important in assessment review and comparable-property research. |
That GIS acreage or tax dimensions establish a legal boundary. |
Zoning |
Provides useful land-use context. |
That assessor display replaces current zoning/permit verification. |
Denver Assessor Property Search Map and GIS
Denver provides an Assessor Maps application where users can find and download assessor maps, plus Assessment Parcel Map Index GIS data.
Use Denver maps for
- Parcel orientation.
- Neighborhood and subdivision context.
- Assessment-map research.
- Locating difficult or vacant parcels.
- Connecting map information with the correct Parcel ID.
Do not use GIS as
- A licensed boundary survey.
- Proof of an encroachment.
- A title report.
- A final zoning or permit decision.
- A substitute for a recorded plat or deed.
Understand Denver’s 2025–2026 Assessment Cycle
Colorado real property is reappraised every two years in odd-numbered years. That distinction is essential when researching “Denver assessor real property search 2026.”
Item |
Current Denver rule |
Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Reappraisal cycle |
Real property is reappraised every two years in odd-numbered years. |
2025 was the most recent general reassessment year. |
2025 data period |
2025 values are based on sales from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024. |
A 2026 sale is not automatically the sale period used to set the 2025 reappraisal value. |
2025 tax year |
2025 taxes are payable during 2026. |
The bill you pay in 2026 can still be labeled Tax Year 2025. |
Assessor vs tax rate |
The Assessor values property but does not set tax rates or collect payment. |
A value appeal and a complaint about mill levy are different issues. |
2025 residential tax calculation used for taxes payable in 2026
Local government
Denver currently lists a 6.25% residential assessment rate and 27.328 mills for its general local-government example.
Schools
Denver lists a 7.05% residential assessment rate and 52.274 school mills in the current example.
Combined general example
The FAQ shows 79.602 combined general mills and an illustrative $3,370.82 calculation for a $625,000 single-family value.
Denver Property Value Protest: 2026 Status
The ordinary 2026 Denver real-property protest period has already ended. The important issue now is understanding which deadline applied to that completed cycle and what the new August 2026 law changes going forward.
Evidence a valuation protest should focus on
- Comparable sales from the legally relevant data period.
- Incorrect living area, lot size or property characteristics.
- Condition problems supported with photos or repair evidence.
- Incorrect classification.
- A clear explanation of the value you believe is correct.
- Parcel or schedule number so the evidence is matched to the correct property.
New Colorado Property-Tax Deadline Law Effective August 12, 2026
Colorado SB26-046 became effective on August 12, 2026 and changes several administrative deadlines that affect future Denver property-tax guidance.
Rule |
Previous / older guidance |
New law |
|---|---|---|
Real-property protest |
June 8 |
June 1 for future applicable cycles. |
Qualifying senior application |
Regular July 15; late rules were not consistently displayed on Denver’s page. |
Regular July 15; qualifying late applications may be accepted through August 15. |
Qualifying disabled veteran / spouse |
Denver web page still shows July 1. |
Law aligns regular deadline to July 15 and late acceptance through August 15. |
Large abatement review threshold |
$10,000 language appears in older/current forms. |
State-level threshold increased to $20,000. |
Missed the Regular Protest? Understand Denver Abatement First
An abatement/refund petition is not a general extension of the ordinary protest deadline. Denver’s 2026 forms identify 2024 and 2025 as the tax years eligible for the current abatement process.
Abatement can address
- Erroneous or illegal tax levy.
- Erroneous valuation.
- Irregularity in levying.
- Clerical error.
- Overvaluation when otherwise eligible.
Abatement does not automatically reopen
If the value was already protested for that year and a Notice of Determination was issued, Denver’s instructions limit the use of an abatement/refund petition on overvaluation grounds.
2026 abatement preparation
- Use a separate petition for each parcel and tax year.
- State the value you believe should apply.
- For 2024 valuation evidence, use the applicable July 1, 2020–June 30, 2022 base period.
- For 2025 valuation evidence, use the applicable July 1, 2022–June 30, 2024 base period.
- Include current owner authorization when an agent files for the owner.
- Keep proof of the submission.
Denver Senior and Veteran Property Tax Exemptions: August 2026 Update
This section is unusually time-sensitive because Colorado’s deadline law changed today and Denver’s web pages have not been fully synchronized with the new statute.
Senior Homestead Exemption basics
Basic senior eligibility
- At least age 65 as of January 1 of the application year.
- Owned the home for at least 10 consecutive years before January 1.
- Occupied it as the primary residence for at least 10 consecutive years before January 1.
Benefit described in state instructions
For a qualifying senior, 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the primary residence is exempted, subject to the program’s statutory rules.
Late senior filing through August 15
Colorado’s official senior instructions state that a completed form is due July 15, but the county assessor must accept late applications through August 15. A senior applicant filing after July 15 loses appeal rights connected with a denied late application.
Short Form vs Long Form
Form route |
Use it when |
|---|---|
Short Form |
The senior meets the basic age, 10-year ownership and 10-year occupancy requirements. |
Long Form |
Surviving-spouse cases or qualifying exceptions involving estate planning transfers, confinement in a health-care facility, eminent domain or natural disaster. |
Veteran deadline changed
Denver’s existing webpage still displays July 1 for the qualifying disabled-veteran exemption. SB26-046 now aligns the applicable regular deadline to July 15 and permits qualifying late applications through August 15. Anyone relying on the new deadline should confirm Denver’s updated submission procedure immediately.
Official Denver exemption information Senior & Veteran Exemption PageDenver Property Tax Relief Program: Separate from the State Exemption
Denver also runs a local rebate-style Property Tax Relief Program through the Department of Housing Stability. This is different from the state senior homestead exemption.
2025 tax-year applications
Denver is accepting qualifying applications for 2025 property taxes or rent through April 30, 2027 or until program funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first.
Homeowners
The current program lists potential homeowner relief of up to $1,800, depending on taxes paid, income and program eligibility.
Renters
Qualifying renters can also receive relief based on the rent-equivalent program rules; the current program lists up to $1,000.
2025 homeowner income examples

$72,950 |
2 people |
$83,400 |

Homeowner applicants also need to meet the program’s qualifying household criteria, such as age, disability, dependent-child or surviving-spouse requirements. The application itself is available online.
Official Denver Department of Housing Stability Check Denver Property Tax ReliefDenver Property Tax Search and Payment in August 2026
Denver’s regular 2025 property-tax payment deadlines have passed. If your account is unpaid now, use the current official balance instead of calculating from the original statement.
The statutory first-half date is the last day of February. Because February 28, 2026 fell on a Saturday, the deadline moved to the next business day.
Owners choosing one full annual payment used the April 30 deadline.
The ordinary second-half installment deadline has also passed.
If the account remains unpaid, open the current tax account or contact Treasury for the amount due including applicable interest, penalties or other charges.

What to Do if a Denver Property Tax Payment Looks Wrong
Payment rejected or did not post
- Save the payment confirmation.
- Check the bank account for rejection or reversal.
- Confirm the Parcel ID entered.
- Recheck the current official tax account.
- Contact Treasury with the transaction details.
Delinquent statement seems wrong
Denver instructs owners to email propertytaxinfo@denvergov.org with the Parcel ID, property address, payment dates and amounts, and check numbers.
Denver Deed, Recorded Property and Certified Copy Search
Use the Clerk and Recorder when your question is about the recorded document itself rather than the Assessor’s tax-administration record.
Use recorded records for
- Deeds and ownership transfers.
- Mortgages and releases.
- Liens.
- Recorded real-estate documents.
- Certified copies when an official copy is required.
Do not rely only on the assessor page for
- Guaranteed title status.
- Complete lien analysis.
- Legal ownership opinion.
- Document certification.
- Historical chain of title without reviewing source documents.

Recorded RecordsDenver Assessor Property Search FAQs
What is the official Denver assessor property search?
Use the City and County of Denver Property Search page for real-property assessment and tax records. Denver states that its system supports search by address, Parcel ID or schedule number and that information is updated daily.
Can I search Denver property records by owner name?
Denver’s current Property Search instructions do not advertise owner name as a primary Assessor search field. If you know the address, search it and confirm the published owner information. If you only know a person’s name, use Clerk and Recorder name-based recorded-document research or contact Assessor Information Management with any property-location clues you have.
How do I search Denver property records by address?
Open the official Denver Property Search and use the street address. Start with a simple address format. After finding the correct property, save its Parcel ID and schedule number for more exact tax, assessment and GIS research.
What is the difference between a Denver Parcel ID and schedule number?
Both are official property identifiers used in Denver’s assessment and taxation system. Use whichever appears on your property result, tax statement or Notice of Valuation, and save both when available so the Assessor or Treasury can identify the account accurately.
Where can I find the Denver assessor property map?
Use Denver’s official Assessor Maps application for assessor maps and related GIS information. Identify the property and Parcel ID first. GIS is useful for parcel context but should not replace a deed, recorded plat or professional survey for legal boundary questions.
What is the Denver property-value protest deadline after the new 2026 law?
Colorado SB26-046 became effective August 12, 2026 and changes the real-property protest deadline from June 8 to June 1 for future applicable cycles. The ordinary 2026 Denver protest period had already occurred before the new law became effective, so do not retroactively treat June 1 as the closed 2026 deadline.
Can I appeal an older Denver property value after missing the regular protest?
A Board of County Commissioners abatement/refund petition may apply to certain prior-year errors, but it is not a general late-protest extension. Denver’s 2026 forms identify tax years 2024 and 2025 as currently eligible, subject to the program’s limitations and prior-protest rules.
Can a Denver senior still file a 2026 property-tax exemption after July 15?
Colorado’s official senior instructions and the new August 12 law recognize late qualifying applications through August 15. A senior filing after July 15 loses applicable appeal rights if the late application is denied. Because Denver’s webpage still contains conflicting older wording, contact the Assessor immediately for the current filing procedure.
When were Denver property taxes due in 2026?
For 2025 taxes payable in 2026, the first-half deadline moved to March 2 because February 28 fell on a weekend, full payment was due April 30, and the second half was due June 15. If taxes remain unpaid now, obtain the current Treasury payoff rather than relying on the original statement amount.
Where do I search Denver deeds and recorded property documents?
Use the Denver Clerk and Recorder’s recorded-record search for deeds, mortgages, liens and other recorded documents. Certified copies currently cost $1 per document plus $0.25 per page. Assessment ownership information is not a substitute for a guaranteed title search.
Best Denver Property Search Path
For most visitors, use address → confirm Parcel ID and schedule number → review the correct assessment/tax year → move to GIS, Treasury, Assessor forms or Clerk records only when the next task requires it.
In August 2026, pay special attention to current delinquent-tax balances, the new June 1 future protest deadline, and the August 15 late senior/qualifying-veteran application provision rather than relying on older Denver pages that have not yet been fully updated.
